Classical and Quantum Dynamics: From Classical Paths to Path Integrals de Walter Dittrich

Classical and Quantum Dynamics: From Classical Paths to Path Integrals

Autor Walter Dittrich, Martin Reuter
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 feb 2021
Graduate students seeking to become familiar with advanced computational strategies in classical and quantum dynamics will find in this book both the fundamentals of a standard course and a detailed treatment of the time-dependent oscillator, Chern-Simons mechanics, the Maslov anomaly and the Berry phase, to name just a few topics. Well-chosen and detailed examples illustrate perturbation theory, canonical transformations and the action principle, and demonstrate the usage of path integrals.
 
The sixth edition has been enlarged to include the Heisenberg-Euler Lagrangian, Schwinger’s source theory treatment of the low-energy π-ρ-N physics and general relativity, where Riemann’s (Einstein’s) ideas on space and time and their philosophical implications are discussed.

Notă biografică

Prof. Dr. Walter Dittrich was head of the quantum electrodynamics group at Tübingen University. His main research activities centered on gauge theories, in particular, on QED, stimulated in part by collaboration with Julian Schwinger. Walter Dittrich has worked for more than 20 years at centers like MIT, the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton and the National Accelerator Laboratory at Stanford (SLAC). He has over 30 years of teaching experience and is one of the key scientists in developing the theoretical framework of quantum electrodynamics.
 
Prof. Dr. Martin Reuter is head of the quantum Einstein gravity group at the Institute for High Energy Physics at Mainz University. His research focuses on particle physics, quantum field theory and quantum Einstein gravity. He worked at the synchrotron facility DESY and the large hadron collider at CERN. He has more than 30 years of teaching experience in theoretical physics.

Caracteristici

Perfect companion for courses on path integrals, advanced mechanics and quantum mechanics as well as semi-classical methods and non-linear dynamics Highlights the principle of stationary action as common starting point of classical and quantum mechanics Includes an introduction to Riemann's (Einstein's) ideas on space and time and their philosophical implications

Recenzii

“This is the fourth edition of a highly successful pedagogical book that combines classical and quantum dynamics, often viewed as disjoint subjects. … Its elementary exposition makes the book accessible to graduate students.” (Gert Roepstorff, zbMATH 1330.81001, 2016)
